After Fidel Castros 1959 Revolution of 1959, despite serious attempts at diversification, the country continued to depend on the monocrop. Men and women cut cane by hand. City people who had never swung a machete spent long volunteer hours aiding the national effort. But the US embargo and diminishing international markets destroyed Cubas economy. Gaudencio Rodríguez Santanas NATIONAL ECONOMY / ECONOMIA NACIONAL explores that collapse and its physical, emotional and psychic consequences. It is a powerful, insightful collection of eye-witness poems by one of Cubas most celebrated contemporary poets. As translator and editor Margaret Randall writes in her introduction, Rodríguez Santana uses the failure of sugar as a metaphor for the many revolutionary hopes that have been lost. He evokes landscapes, tastes, smells, a cartography that no longer exists. In these poems, metaphor moves beyond itself as it hits the reader with a profound and complex truth. This book is raw and painful. It contains a rare imagery in the voice of a poet who combines an intimate knowledge of what he writes about with a unique poetic voice and exquisite perfection of his craft.</p>9781609406028_Wings Presslibro_electonico_29b0fda1-7df4-3ee5-835f-7dbdcccceae1_9781609406028;9781609406028_9781609406028Gaudencio Rodríguez-SantanaInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/ajohnston@ipgbook.com-epub-9fdd0bc2-6169-4bf6-a152-59163e36e2a8.epub2019-02-01T00:00:00+00:00Wings Press
